Frequently asked questions

Bluetooth

How far does the Bluetooth pulse reach?
The average connection distance is up to 100 meters radius around the server, newer mobile phones will be able to connect from even further. Antennas can also be fitted to a server to pulse out over a great distance of 600 m to 1 kilometre.
Does it interfere with other equipment?
No, Bluetooth is a very low frequency radio wave (2.4Ghz) which will not interfere with other appliances, this low frequency is the reason it has a low range of connectivity, about 100 meters. Its also environmentally friendly, as it does not have any paper wastage like other advertising.
Is it really cost effective compared to TV, or Print media?
Most definitely! When you consider the engaging power this has, and the interactive way it connects with the consumer you will fully appreciate the results, and unlike TV or print media, it allows you to fully see the data capture; how many phones reached, what makes and models, how many downloads, what times were busiest, what server locations are working best, and so on. You can see exactly where your marketing budget is being spent.
What can I send?
You can send text messages, pictures, music files, ringtones, java applications (like demo versions of games), business cards, maps, e-vouchers, movie clips, TV commercials and more—there are huge possibilities! You're putting your company message / promotion, right into the hands of your potential customers.
How long does it take for someone to download a Bluetooth message?
Depending on the file size and how new the phone is, it can vary but on average, about 4 seconds.
Is it free to receive and send on?
Yes, all files are sent direct from the server to the handset, so the customer is not connecting to the internet, or paying any rates. It's also free for them to send on to friends and family. So if you have a good offer, important information or funny commercial your message will get even more exposure.

Video Walls

How long are the commercial messages on the screen?
Most of our commercial packages are 30 second commercial spots, however, we are more than happy to adapt this to your needs, we can offer a 'double package' if you had a 1 minute commercial, or we can give you twice the amount of impressions if you had a 15 second spot. We can work with any length of commercial, but 30 seconds is standard.
I dont have a video commercial, what can I put on the screen?
Many of our clients are in this position, website companies, newspaper advertisers etc..... This is no problem at all. 3-Blue have a proffessional creative department who can design a slide show from your still images (photos/pictures/text) and work closely with you to get the results you want. Even more once the event is finished you will have full commercial rigts to use the work free of charge for your future campaigns.
What format should I send the material in?
Most of the video commercials we recieve are in MP4 format this is very easy to use, although we can convert most formats.

Photography

How far can you travel?
Quite simply, anywhere, if the price is right!! (A holiday is always nice!)
Can you work for over a day?
Again, yes... much the same as the first answer!
Do you do model photos?
Yes, We are happy do do photoshoots, but you will have to arrange a location.
